Parallel abstract (English)

The author compares two European Union policies, the youth policy and the employment policy at the Union level and in Croatia. The emphasis is put on the youth employment. Both policies are under the competence of member states and not the EU, but seen the crucial role of young people as the leading force of the society, European Union has recognised the need for intervention. The work analyses European and Croatian programmes and strategies, aimed at improving the position of youth in society and increase their employability and employment rates, The study also gives an overview of financial instruments available for financing of both policies.
